MASTURBACJA: MIĘDZY NORMĄ SEKSUOLOGICZNĄ A NORMĄ RELIGIJNĄ
Masturbation: between sexological and religious norms

Summary/Abstract: Masturbation is considered to be the first human sexual activity, but its evaluation is heavily influenced by culture and ideology. On the one hand, there is an opinion that masturbation is an inherently disorganized behavior and a morally evil act; on the other hand, it is recognized as one of the normal, desirable and regular sexual activities. Research shows that masturbation is a difficult topic for Christians, regardless of denomination. In this article the author would like to show that neither the sexual norm accepting masturbation as a healthy behavior nor the deontological principle condemning it capture the psychodynamic structure of masturbation treating it as a repression of sexuality or a neutral behavior.
